The first Indy 500 was held in 1911. Today, its referred to as The Greatest Spectacle in Racing and its prestige is on the same level as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Monaco Grand Prix events, which, along with the Indy 500, comprise the Triple Crown of Motorsport. In 2011, the race celebrated its 100thanniversary and two years ago, it also celebrated its 100th running.

Police Week, or known more formally as Peace Officers Memorial Day, is an observance in the U.S. that pays tribute to federal, state, and local officers who have been slain or disabled in the line of duty. While it may only occur annually on May 15, the week of it is celebrated in Washington D.C, where thousands of law enforcement officials congregate for a candlelight vigil, wreath laying ceremony, and what is known as a “Blue Mass”. The Grand Lodge of the National Fraternal Order of Police sponsors all of this.

This holiday was created back in October of 1962, when President John F. Kennedy signed a bill into law designating a day for honoring fallen police officers. President Bill Clinton, who directed that the American flag be flown at half-staff later amended it in 1994. The actual memorial service actually began in 1982.

Therapy-IV is proud to stand behind the brave men and women who are out there every day risking their lives to execute what they pledge to do: serve and protect.

Many people seek out a summer fishing hotspot that ensures they will hook onto a monstrous trophy fish. With that said, it is widely known that Miami is a prime location for saltwater fishing and Miami summertime fishing is no exception due to the influx of warm waters. People flock to Miami during summers not only because they are in search of beautiful sunny weather but also for the chance to experience the insane adrenaline rush from hooking onto a saltwater fish.

Among the many forms of saltwater fishing, deep sea fishing captures a whole new realm of excitement. With many new and adventurous challenges that are presented with deep sea fishing, it is highly evident that fishing in deep waters draws the most thrills. During the summer season, a few popular methods to catching deep sea fish are trolling lures, dead bait or a combination of both. With these techniques during the summer season, one can expect to catch sailfish, blue marlin, wahoo, and even dolphin (mahi-mahi).

The summer is soon to arrive and if there is one way to keep cool from the summer temperatures, it’s spending a day at the pool. Miami Beach has lots of fun spots to enjoy a pool party day, and these places will definitely allow you some great fun in the sun.

The beach is fantastic but if you’d rather not deal with getting sand all over you, the Standard has an infinity pool plus an improvised beach that includes just about everything but the pesky sand. Speaking of the pool, it boasts an underwater sound system. If you’re feeling truly adventurous, you’ll also find a mini pool called the Arctic Plunge which is kept at an absolutely frigid fifty degrees! Once it’s time to wind down, the Roman waterfall hot tub is just the thing.

If you’re only visiting Miami for the warmer weather, you should definitely make some time to marvel at the majesty of a Miami sunset. The 1 Hotel South Beach Rooftop has a pool open to hotel guests that’s perfect for an afternoon as the sun sets on another fine day. During the weekends, DJs liven up the atmosphere. Even if you aren’t a guest, you can still rent a cabana.

At one point in its lifetime, Miami Beach’s Washington Avenue was the epicenter of entertainment back when South Beach was still transitioning from a quiet Art Deco paradise into the bustling party scene it has since become. As South Beach grew, attention turned from Washington Avenue to Ocean Drive, which has since become synonymous with South Beach.

Washington Avenue will soon be receiving the attention it deserves now that Miami Beach has designated the stretch from Fifth to 17th streets as a Business Improvement District, a designation it will retain for the next decade. With this BID designation, Washington Avenue will be receiving a facelift which includes beautification and renovations. Some of the projects in store include new hotels and retail as well as office and residential space.

Back in 2005, Washington Avenue also underwent improvements which were centered resurfacing the roads, adding new streetlights, and making drainage improvements. With this new initiative, it may return to the glory it once had in the early 1990s.

Have you heard of Fleet Week? It’s one of the most popular events in South Florida, drawing thousands of local students, veterans, and residents eager to explore some of the vessels used by the United States Navy and Coast Guard. While a large portion of Fleet Week is aimed at bringing the community to come aboard, it also serves as an opportunity for military members and sailors to spend some time on land and share their experience with the community.

One of the most important events held during Fleet Week is the Pearl Harbor memorial service typically held at the Fort Lauderdale Coast Guard Station. As the remaining Pearl Harbor survivors become smaller with the passage of time, part of Fleet Week serves as a way to preserve the importance of memory of the attack that resulted in the United States becoming a part of World War II.

The 2018 Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, and it will cap off the preceding festival in Louisville. It is the first component of the Triple Crown, followed by the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. The event is often called the “Fastest Two Minutes in Sports” as well as the Holy Grail of gambling. It carries the highest risk but possibly the biggest reward given the variety of twenty unpredictable horses. They are the result of a culmination of years of effort to breed the perfect champion. For most of this year’s hopefuls, that process began in the Bluegrass.

Seventeen of the twenty contenders for the 144th Run for the Roses were born near Lexington, Kentucky. And Audible, though a New York-bred, was quickly shipped after birth to grow up on a Central Kentucky horse farm. The only two other Derby contenders this year born outside Kentucky are Firenze Fire (Florida) and Flameaway (Canada). The last foreign-born horse to win the Derby was Sunny’s Halo (Canada) in 1983.

Watch this Saturday, best of luck to those who bet, and may the best horse win.

A Nice Catch!

About Me

I started out fishing at the age of seven with my father and brother, both on fishing piers and on drift-fishing boats here in Miami, Florida. I started working on the all-day drift-fishing boats as a deckhand, and then I was promoted to first mate on the weekends at the age of thirteen. By that time I had experienced catching just about everything that swims and bites.
I continued working every weekend, holiday and summer, learning more about the art and skill of fishing these Florida waters, I knew that I was on my way to an exciting career and someday would be a captain of my own fleet of charter boats. After college I started working full time on the first “THERAPY” and built my first charter fishing boat in 1976. In 2010, my fourth boat THERAPY-IV was completed. It is the most amazing fishing boat that anyone could ever think of building.
The THERAPY-IV is the ultimate in luxury for deep sea fishing and a one of a kind experience for those looking to catch big fish off the coast of Miami in the deep sea fishing spots we know best or at some great spots around Biscayne Bay.
Let’s go fishing!!! The next big monster is out there waiting for you.
